The First Sign of Spring in the Villages of Mt Hood

Trillium ovatum, the Western Trillium, is a three-petaled white flower that welcomes spring to the Villages of Mt Hood!  For Village residents, the first sight of Trilliums is a friendly reminder that warmer days and greener views are just around the corner.  These familiar native plants dot the undercover of the forest with a spotted blanket of white among the twin flowers, Salomon's Seal, fiddle fern, sorrel, salal, Oregon grape and sword ferns.
